A photo of the day thread

[Speve]

From my book I think they overwinter in that part of Spain, the rest of the European population go to Africa. Not a common bird.

Yes there are lots here at El Rocio and there were a lot at La Janda, Tarifa but even more rare Bald ibis at the watch tower at Conil de la Frontera

My Collins Bird Guide has the Bald Ibis as extinct in Europe, it's obviously out of date and doesn't know about the reintroduction programs in Germany and Spain. The German project doesn't seem to be going as well as the Spanish one according to my bit of quick reading. Some of the Spanish birds are now migrating to Morocco where the last birds in the wild survived.

A tall tail.

No real idea of the species, might be an Iberian Wall Lizard at a guess? They have very long tails but they are quite small and I can't tell the scale. Why do they never pose by a tape measure?

 

[Speve]

No real idea of the species

He was between 10”/12”long I just saw him scrabble up over the top and very quick but posed there for quite a while but never came back over the top so that we could see all of him? we love all of the birds and animals out here saw a Short toed Eagle with a big snake in its talons earlier wasn’t quick enough to take a picture though?

Yes thanks, it was a workmans trailer went up, I saw one of the fireman carry a gas bottle out of it and drench it with water, glad that didn’t go up.
Van still a bit smelly and some soot on the back.

Today at Marazion. Free parking direct access to seafront and St. Michaels Mount.
Had to cross the road to see that the plants were actually painted on the sun drenched wall.

Fallow deer prints*, Nelder Wood near Cornwood, South Dartmoor.

* I think it is as I've seen them in this area, which is fenced off from sheep. The toes are splayed out which is apparently what Fallow do on muddy ground.

Yesterday at Saltram House, Plymouth, a NT property with extensive grounds.

Rhodendrons, much bigger than they might look!

I recognise that 2nd photo I think. Arrieta?
I’ve noticed the car park at that restaurant is used for a bit of wild camping, popular with German motorhomes.
